Today, I made a discovery out of desperation. I had a craving for good hummus and found some at Whole Foods that was completely compliant (one version was made with spinach and artichoke and even had bennies in it!!). Well when making my lunch I had run out of mayonnaise and am trying to not buy any more and make myself find alternatives. So I made a turkey sandwich on Ezekiel bread with some hummus on it.

Oh. My. Word.

That was SO good. I went grocery shopping for something else after, and passed the mayonnaise and didn't even want any because the hummus tasted so much better. It was great!

I'm so excited!

My biggest fear about changing my edible lifestyle was that I would no longer be able to enjoy food and it would become a chore rather than a joy. Oh I was SO wrong! I enjoy it MUCH more now that I cook more and have some good solid boundaries to bounce off of that I can easily live with. And I'm not abusing my body with the junk food (fast food) that I was binging on, starving for nutrients. Now I just get giddy over every new culinary discovery and become a little more "gourmet" every day, which is thrilling for me. I'm becoming a real foodie!!
